being the best... is always an endeavour and never an accomplishment. if you think you have reached the top, look at the stars and you will realise everything that can be accomplished, has not yet been.
being the best.. is the motto of every individual at team iiFl. although it is a never ending journey, pursuit of making yourself better at what you do every day is never tiring either. the harder we work to excel, the better and more energized we feel. the journey itself is more rewarding than the ultimate outcome. then there are these milestones like two prestigious awards for being the best in the year 2011 itself, which reinforce our commitment to continue the journey with double the vigor. the key to our success is how efforts of all the team members are integrated towards organizational goal and vision. thats where our unique culture of owner mindset makes all the difference. this is a company where owners work and workers own. everybody works towards making his or her company the best in delivering value to the customer, making it a better place for fellow owner-worker, produce superior financial returns and earn respect from the society at large. this effort is towards achieving the collective vision of being the Most respected Company in financial services space.

An Overview
Being the Best is a journey and not a destination. History is replete with examples of how quickly the pecking order can change in almost all human endeavours. Somebody has aptly put Many of us who are fallen today will be in high esteem tomorrow and many of us who are in high esteem today will be fallen tomorrow. How else would it have been possible for your Company with barely a decades history in broking to be adjudged as the Best Equity Broker by likes of Bloomberg UTV and Finance Asia. These awards, however, place an enormous responsibility on the IIFL team to live up to the expectations of customers, employees, shareholders and society in general. There will be occasions when competition outsmarts us. The question arises can your Company remain the best and ahead of others in the decades to come and if yes, how?
About IIFL
Our vision is to be the Most Respected Financial Services Company in India. We can remain true to our vision by being the best and not necessarily the biggest or the fastest. Many-a-time, expectations of employees, customers, shareholders and society seem conflicting, but a deeper insight reveals that they complement one another and in fact, can be achieved only together.
Business Discussion
Taking examples from large MNCs, we have likes of Procter & Gambles who have remained amongst the best for several decades. There are likes of Apples, who lost the honor but regained it with a vengeance and then there are General Motors, who could not climb the ladder to pinnacle ever again. The successful companies are inspiration for us but not models for blind emulation. This is because we operate in different times, different sectors and a different world in terms of technology, consumer and employee behavior and regulatory regime. Our vision is to be the Most Respected Financial Services Company in India. We can remain true to our vision by being the best and not necessarily the biggest or the fastest. Many-a-time, expectations of employees, customers, shareholders and society seem conflicting, but a deeper insight reveals that they complement one another and in fact, can be achieved only together. For instance, a corporate that does not make itself the best place for employees, will not for too long deliver the best products to customers or best returns to shareholders. Our endeavour is to put in place a robust system with appropriate building blocks glued together by values and culture that will last generations.
With focus on financial services, we endeavour to excel in four key areas, which can be summarised as our STAR edge comprising Service, Technology, Advice and Reach. We are a service-oriented organization. For our people with owner mindset, service comes from the heart and not from manuals or training alone. Traditionally service has been understood to fix an issue or information gap and encompass activities like quick resolution of queries, making available information asked for and fixing a quality issue, among others. We endeavour to redefine service by not only being proactive, but also being educative and incessantly striving to enhance and enrich customer experience. For instance, our thematic research which does not have buy or sell recommendations, proactive calls by our customer care cell, ask analyst for online response on any query about a stock or an investment, providing dedicated equity advisors, portfolio analysis, and so on. Technology is the backbone of our business. Our entire technology, right from the front office i.e. customer trading interface to midoffice which is the risk management and back office that takes care of accounting, contracts and statements, are all proprietary technology.
Most of our Trader Terminal users can settle for nothing else. Its power works like magic from streaming quotes, instant order confirmation to charts, technical analysis, research and online ledger and bills. Our software has handled over a million trades in a day, i.e. 50 trades per second. As a strategy, we continue to invest in core technology and applications and have outsourced infrastructure and maintenance. We believe that technology is not a product that you buy one time, plug and play, but requires continuous investments to upgrade with changes in business and environment on one hand and progress in technology globally on the other. Our key service offering is financial advice. As an intermediary in the financial services industry, customers pay us for advising them and executing their transactions. With technology, the relative value of execution will decline continuously and therefore advice will make all the difference. Historically, the broking industry built its business model around efficient execution. The radical changes in technology have automated execution considerably and commoditised it. Increasingly, the client will not need any other human intervention given advances in internet and mobile technologies. Interestingly, as a Company, we were founded on an advisory platform and built an execution platform later. We do not want to be complacent with the accolades that we receive for our research. We continue to invest in quality people, training and building the knowledge base to ensure that our advisory skills are second to none.
To be competitive, you have to reach out to the customer wherever he or she is. We are present in 3,000 business locations in over 500 towns and cities in India. We also have regulated subsidiaries in six different countries. This makes our reach amongst the widest in financial services companies other than banks. Besides, we reach our customers through internet, mobile and call centers. None of the above or even all of the above do not guarantee that we can achieve and retain our supremacy forever. The above success drivers will keep changing and will also vary based on the perception and strategy of the incumbent management team. The key to be the best in your Companys business is simple- to have the best people work for you. It is also important that people fit into the culture and are aligned to the organization. Our culture is to attract smart people who are humble and hard working and give them a trusting and empowering environment. They may make mistakes but they have the humility to change and correct themselves. They quickly adapt to the changing business environment and continously learn from the competition as well. They also hire similar people to work for them. This is our mantra in the journey of being the best.

induSTry Overview
The macro economic scenario, changing demographics and increased disposable incomes in the hands of the people have pushed growth in the insurance industry. However, the insurance and mutual fund industry has gone through a challenging phase in the last few quarters due to regulatory changes. The changes made by the regulator have been favourable for the consumers and will benefit the industry in the long term. In the last two years, LIC, the dominant public sector undertaking has managed to regain its market share, which it was losing to private sector entrants. The insurance sector is expected to reach US$ 350 - 400 bn by 2020. The total penetration of insurance (premium as percentage of GDP) has increased from 2.3% in 2001 to 5.2% in 2011-12. The total premium of 23 life insurance companies has gone up by 15% to US$ 28.3 bn in 2010-11. Indias US$ 41 bn life insurance industry is considered to be the fifth largest life insurance market globally, growing at a rapid pace of 32-34% annually. (Source: IBEF) Net inflow in mutual funds industry for the fiscal year 2010-11 was ` 9,741 bn, an increase of 91% over 2009-10. However, due to the abolition of entry loads in 2010-11, mutual fund industry was not able to garner fresh inflows into the equity fund category. There was a net outflow in equity funds of ` 184 bn in 2010-11.

Managements Discussion & analysis
MacRoeconoMIc oveRvIew Indian economy came out quite unscathed from the global financial turmoil in the year 2008-09. It has also emerged resilient and continued its robust growth momentum. During the year under review, the Indian economy posted an impressive growth of 8.6% yoy. This growth was driven by the rural sector which benefited from good monsoons, increased flow of bank credit and generous funding by the government on various employment and other schemes. While the growth during FY 2004-08 was driven primarily by accelerated capital formation, the growth for the last 2 years has been driven by consumption and rising income. The services sector which has been a dominant part of Indias GDP, also has maintained its strong growth momentum. On the flip side, inflation was the major concern for the policy makers for the year under review. The policy makers responded by tightening the monetary policies and increasing the interest rates very aggressively. During the year under review, the Central Bank, RBI increased the repo rate by 175 basis points to 6.75% and the reverse repo rate by 225 basis points to 5.75%. The primary causes of inflation have been: (i) increase in crude oil and other commodities driven by benign global liquidity aided by US Central Banks Quantitative Easing (QE1 and QE2) and (ii) Spiraling food prices caused by supply falling short of relatively inelastic demand. In the last few quarters however, the gross capital formation has decelerated and there is apprehension that economic growth will be impacted with a lag. While the private sector capital expenditure is marred by high interest rates and lower operating margins with raw material price escalation, the government supported capital expenditure is impacted by faltering policy making, political uncertainties and delays in decision making. The government however is trying to get its act together. Recently, government took long pending decision on price hike for petroleum products and the markets immediate response was positive. Nobody has any doubt in the potential and robust India growth story in the long term. The key variables to watch out for in the short term would be global crude and commodity prices, local inflation and monetary policy stance, government decisions on reforms, policies and infrastructure and monsoon. Financial Markets During the year under review, the Indian capital markets showed resilience to a number of negative news. The key benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty moved up by about 11% yoy. This was primarily driven by FII inflows at a healthy US$ 30 bn during the year. However the enthusiasm was not matched by local participants in the market namely mutual funds, insurance companies and retail investors. The market sentiment and environment remained volatile and choppy. This also led to continued fall in relative share of cash market turnover and delivery volumes. But there was a huge jump in derivatives (futures and options) volumes, where one takes a larger position backed by a small cash margin. The overall market volumes went up by stupendous 40% yoy, whereas the cash market volumes fell by 17%. This understandably led to fall in weighted average brokerage yield of most players and operating margins came under a major squeeze. This can lead to a consolidation in the industry. The survivors should emerge stronger and benefit from the long term industry growth. Insurance and Mutual Fund industry passed through a transition phase in terms of regulatory regime. The policy initiatives have been favorable for the customer and therefore they should benefit the industry in the long term. However significant fall in income of intermediaries and distributors have impacted the efforts for mobilization of fresh money in these sectors. It may take some more time for manufacturers and distributors to adjust their cost and productivity structure and to tap the opportunity from the growing national income and savings. The likely industry consolidation will help the larger and well managed players in the medium term. During the year under review interest cost witnessed a significant increase. This impacted the net interest margin for many NBFC companies like ours. However the credit growth continues and by and large NPAs remain under control for the industry. There is significant latent demand for mortgages, houses and consumer credit. In the short term, demand growth may be subdued as high interest cost will increase the EMI and the ability of a household to fund a new house. There is significant growth potential in other secured credit products such as SME, vehicles, gold, health care facilities, educational institituions etc. IIFl seGMent oveRvIew In this section, the discussion pertains to the consolidated financials of India Infoline Limited along with all its subsidiaries. As a significant part of the Companys business is conducted through its subsidiaries, your Company believes that the consolidated accounts provide a more accurate representation of the performance of your Company as compared to the stand-alone performance. Therefore managements discussion and analysis pertains to the consolidated results.

An Overview
The broad composition of consolidated income has been as follows: Year ended March 31, 2011 Equities brokerage & related Financing and investment Marketing and distribution Others total income 6,697.3 6,180.5 1,842.7 19.0 14,739.4 % in total income 45.4% 41.9% 12.5% 0.1% 100.0% Year ended March 31, 2010 7,018.1 2,917.8 1,293.1 9.8 11,238.8 % in total income 62.4% 26.0% 11.5% 0.1% 100.0%
equities broking and related income It comprises, the income received from broking and related activities in the cash and derivatives segments of equities on BSE and NSE and commodities trading on MCX and NCDEX. The related income includes income derived from wealth management advisory and investment banking services. During the year, our equities broking and related income declined 4.6% yoy to ` 6.7 bn. This was on account of significant fall in average brokerage yield on the traded turnover. On the major exchange, NSE, we increased our market share to 4% in the year under review as compared to 3.8% in the previous year. The fall in brokerage yield has been an industry wide phenomenon attributed primarily to change in product mix and to some extent to increasing competitive activity. The product mix on the exchange has changed in favour of Futures and Options segment, which accounted for 86% of volumes for the year under review as compared to 76% in the previous year, with corresponding fall in relative share of cash segment. Within cash segment also, relative share of delivery volumes has fallen. Brokerage rates, as per industry norms, tend to be significantly higher for delivery volumes, followed by intra-day and futures & options. The brokerage yield is typically lowest for options contract. To illustrate on an average, brokerage per rupee of turnover of cash delivery trade can be as high as 8 to 10 times that of a trade in futures or options segment. Besides, when industry income pie is not growing, like any other competitive business, the pricing tends to be cut-throat. Not deterred by short term cyclical head winds, the Company continued to grow its distribution network and client base. During the year, the Companys client base increased to 0.95 mn as against 0.8 mn in the previous year. As on March 31, 2011 the Company had over 3,000 business locations spread across more than 500 cities and towns across India. Our average daily volume in the commodities brokerage business was ` 7.4 bn during financial year 2010-11 as compared to ` 4.1 bn in financial year 2009-10, registering a growth of 80% yoy. Our overall market share on both exchanges (MCX and NCDEX) increased to 2% from 1.7% in the previous year. Commodities trading is penetrating wider and deeper across India. The
trading volumes in commodities comprise a number of diverse commodities from Gold, Silver, Wheat to Crude oil and many more. They are relatively less susceptible to capital market sentiment. The Company continued to successfully scale up the wealth management business with Assets under Advice crossing the ` 200 bn mark. It is one of the industrys strongest platforms across various product propositions, which feed into a strong advisory setup. The Company believes that in medium to long term, the advisory business will have greater pricing power and stickier relationships with customers. During the year our Investment Banking team successfully advised and managed ten transactions including IPOs, Qualified Institutional Placements, GDR Offering and Rights issue. The investment banking business, being deal driven is more erratic and difficult to predict from quarter to quarter basis. For instance, in the previous year, while it started off well with a good deal pipeline in the first and second quarter, the momentum suddenly petered off in the second half of the year. Financing and investing income The income from financing and investments stood at ` 6.1 bn during the year, up 111% yoy over 2009-10. The Companys product offerings include margin funding, loan against shares, loan to promoters, loan against commercial and residential property, gold loans and financing of healthcare equipment. The Companys portfolio stood at ` 32.9 bn as at March 2011, a 102% increase over ` 16.3 bn as at March 2010. Predominantly the Companys loan book comprises secured lending with collateral of property, securities, gold, equipment, etc. The loan book as at March 31, 2011, comprised ` 11.6 bn (` 8.4 bn in FY10) of loan against capital market products, ` 19.5 bn (` 6.9 bn in FY10) of loan against property and ` 1.8 bn (` 1 bn in FY10) being others. Besides, based on available opportunities, the Company also deploys funds in equities, commodities or currencies arbitrage activities. The relative contribution of arbitrage activities in the income of year under review however was not significant. The growth in loan book in the current year was driven by the Companys capability to originate retail and wholesale assets against collateral of property through its nationwide distribution

network and quick turnaround in the economic and credit environment. The loan against securities book tends to be more volatile depending on capital market sentiment. Compared to other NBFCs in the peer group, your Companys balance sheet is relatively under- leveraged and hence has capacity to meet funds requirement for growth in the near future without resorting to fresh equity capital. Distribution and marketing income Distribution and marketing income comprises commission, brokerage and marketing income generated from distribution of third party products such as insurance, mutual funds and online marketing activity on the Companys website. A significant part of this income is contributed by commission and brokerage on life insurance premium mobilized as an insurance broker. The Company sold insurance policies issued by various life insurance companies including ICICI Prudential Life Insurance, Reliance Life Insurance, Max New York Life and Bajaj Life Insurance. During the year the Companys income from Distribution and marketing was `1.8 bn, which is an increase of 42.5% yoy. costs The following table sets forth the expenditure that the Company incurred under various heads: ` mn March 31, 2011 March 31, 2010

Direct cost Direct costs consist of brokerage related charges, exchange and statutory charges, marketing expenses and commissions and direct costs relating to financing business. Direct costs have increased 28.5% on a year-on-year basis to `2.2 bn, in line with growth in total income. Consequently, direct costs were 15% of revenues in FY2011level similar to that in the previous year. employee cost Employee costs were ` 3.92 bn for FY2011, which is up 23.5% on a year-on-year basis. This increase in employee cost is primarily on account of rise in average salary levels owing to inflation, competitive pressures as job market recovered from its slumber in the previous two years and relative strengthening of senior management team.
administrative cost Our administrative costs comprise expenses incurred on rent, electricity, tele communication, technology, infrastructure, printing and stationery, travel, courier, advertisement, legal and professional etc. Administrative expenses during the year stood at ` 2.6 bn, a rise of 29% as compared to 2009-10. The increase in administrative cost is mainly due to increase in infrastructure for supporting long term growth of the business. Depreciation expense Depreciation in FY2011 was ` 581.7 mn compared to ` 534.6 mn in FY2010 an increase of 9%. This increase has primarily been on account of ongoing capital expenditure on expanding our overall infrastructure.

Risk management Risk management is integrated seamlessly into business strategy at your Company. The objective of our risk management process is to insulate the Company from the risks associated with the business while simultaneously creating an environment conducive for its growth. It entails a comprehensive estimation, control and review of risk to protect organizational value. The top management has a hands on approach at a strategic level, at the same time delegating and decentralizing operations. Risk Management also forms a critical part of our training module across all levels so that all employees are trained on risk management and implications thereof. At the Company, a governance process has been institutionalised, which ensures that risk management concepts are applied to all business and risk types.

The risk management discipline is centrally initiated but prudently decentralized; percolating to the line managers and helping them mitigate risks at the transactional level, the most effective form of risk management. Market risk The financial services sector is affected by a variety of factors linked to economic development in India and rest of the world global fund flows and politics. Any economic event across the globe can have a direct or indirect impact on your Company. To mitigate this we have diversified our revenue streams across multiple product lines and businesses.

The risk committee reviews the risk management processes covering credit and underwriting controls, operations, technology, compliance risks, etc. The ALCO committee involves in balance sheet planning from risk return perspective including the strategic management of interest rate and liquidity risk.

The Companys servers have been provided with built-in redundancy, auto switch-over capability and stand-by servers. Besides, the Company continuously monitors infrastructure performance, ensuring optimum utilization. Our business is intensively linked to technology and hence to mitigate risk of technology failure we have multiple options for internet bandwidth and internet connectivity and back end service providers. We have sophisticated firewalls to protect our IT infrastructure and have also invested in disaster recovery centers. Recently your Company has entrusted a multi-year contract with IBM to manage all its IT infrastructure and facilities.

An Overview
registered and regulated by SEBI for merchant banking, stock broking, depository participants and portfolio management businesses. India Infoline Investment Services Ltd and Moneyline Credit Ltd are NBFCs registered by Reserve Bank of India and housing finance subsidiary namely India Infoline Housing Finance Ltd is registered with National Housing Bank. Our commodities broking subsidiary is regulated by Forward Markets Commission and our insurance broking subsidiary is registered with IRDA. Besides, our foreign subsidiaries are registered with respective overseas regulatory authorities. Your Company has a full-fledged compliance department, headed by a Chief Compliance Officer, which ensures all the regulatory compliances and reportings of the group. At your Company, the compliance discipline extends across the entire transaction cycle: KYC process, transaction execution, transaction settlement involving securities, fund transfer, customer reportings etc. The compliance requirements across the various service points have been communicated comprehensively to all through compliance manuals and circulars. To ensure complete involvement in the compliance process, heads of the every business/zones/area offices and departments submit quarterly compliance reports, the compilations of which are reviewed by the Audit Committee/Board and also submitted to regulatory bodies as per requirement. human resources risk Over the years, your Company has put in place the following initiatives to retain its people capital: Created an environment which is conducive for the overall growth and progress of our employees Empowered employees to take decisions. With the fundamental ethos of Owner Mindset people are treated more like co-owners than employees Goal setting in consultation with key business executives, enhancing a sense of ownership Rolling out an attractive ESOP scheme, where-in Owner Minset does not just remain as an esoteric proposition but it actually makes owners out of employees Encouraged growth from within as a strategy to plug vacancies.
Internal controls The Company has invested in ensuring that its internal audit and control systems are adequate and commensurate with the nature of our business and the size of our operations. The Company has retained a reputed global firm Ernst & Young as its Group Internal Auditor. The Company also retains a few specialized Audit firms to carry out specific / concurrent audit of some critical functions such as Half yearly internal audit of broking business mandated by SEBI/Exchanges, KYC process, demat transfers, pay-outs, systems audit, branches & sub brokers audits etc. The Company also has an internal team of professionals at head office in Mumbai, supported by regional teams at zonal offices. The internal team undertakes some special situation audits and follows up on implementation of Internal Auditors recommendations. The Auditors reports and recommendations and rectifications / implementations are reviewed by the top management and Audit Committee at regular intervals. The internal processes have been designed to ensure adequate checks and balances at every stage. The processes are reviewed periodically by Internal Auditors as well as Audit Committee and amended as required. Your Company also has to comply with several specific audits that are required by regulatory authorities such as SEBI / Exchanges / Depositories and the reports are submitted to the regulators periodically. outlook Your Company is well placed to seize the long term opportunity in financial services space in India. Indias national income is expected to grow at an annual rate of over 8% in real terms, which will be close to 14-15% p.a. in monetary or nominal terms. Invariably, a developing economy passing through such rapid growth phase, witnesses its financial services sector to grow at 1.5 to 2 times the national income growth. The sector while has tremendous long term potential to grow, has a distinct characteristic of being cyclical. Therefore we see a sort of roller coaster ride. Long term players like your Company, see this as an opportunity rather than an obstacle. Invariably when head winds are strong, the weaker players fall off the roller coaster, paving way for the long term players to emerge strong.

corporate Governance Report
1.
coRPoRate PhIlosoPhy Corporate Governance is about promoting corporate fairness, transparency and accountability. Corporate Governance deals with laws, procedures, practices and implicit rules that determine a Companys ability to take informed managerial decisions vis-a-vis its claimants in particular, its shareholders, creditors, customers, the state and employees. There is a global consensus about the objective of good Corporate Governance maximising long-term shareholders value. Thus, Corporate Governance is a reflection of a Companys culture, policies, its relationship with the stakeholders and its commitment to values. The Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Government of India, published the Corporate Governance Voluntary Guidelines 2009. These guidelines have been published keeping in view the objective of encouraging the use of better corporate governance practices through voluntary adoption which not only serve as a benchmark for the corporate sector but also help them in achieving the highest standard of corporate governance. These guidelines provide corporate India a framework to govern themselves voluntarily as per the highest standards of ethical and responsible conduct of business. The Ministry hopes that adoption of these guidelines will also translate into a much higher level of confidence that is crucial to ensuring long term sustainability and value generation by business. The guideline broadly focuses on areas such as Board of Directors, responsibilities of the Board, audit committee functions, roles and responsibilities, appointment of auditors and mechanism for whistle blower policy. We substantially comply with the Corporate Governance Voluntary Guidelines. We, at India Infoline, believe that sound Corporate Governance is critical to enhance and retain investors trust. Accordingly, we always seek to ensure that we attain our performance rules with integrity. Our Corporate Governance philosophy is based on the following principles. Corporate Governance standards should be complied with in letter as well as spirit Maintain absolute transparency and adequate disclosure practices. Individual preferences and convenience should be subordinate to Corporate conveniences Communicate externally in a truthful manner about how the Company is run internally. Compliance with the laws in which the Company operates. 2.
